Chapter 29 Knowing the Times
"Thanks for the compliment, but as you said before, we are also comrades who have fought together, although you are just watching from the sidelines. But I still have to advise you, as a person in the Hanging Mirror Division, you must learn to be indifferent!" Wei Yu seemed to be very satisfied with Gu Shen's analysis after listening to him, and said casually.
"Oh......? What is the indifference to what?" Gu Shen looked at the fragments of the boat that had been scattered on the river and the girl who was being carried into the building boat by two men, and sighed secretly as if he had expected it.
Wei Yu followed his line of sight, "I think you already understand." Some people say that those who become the Hanging Mirror Division must have a jealous and hateful heart, so that they can have a persistent mind to pursue the truth! This is not wrong, anyone who can become the master of the Ten Great Divisions or is a master who is somewhat famous in the Hanging Mirror Division must have their own beliefs! It's just that outsiders don't know that this persistence is often a kind of torture for the people of the Hanging Mirror Division!"
Gu Shen lowered his head slightly, watching the ants on the ground slowly crawl by, as if the little insect had great charm. Wei Yu continued, as if he was talking to him and more like talking to himself.
"The responsibility of the Hanging Mirror Division is to inquire into the truth, but finding out the truth may not be able to play a role, because the Hanging Mirror Division is not allowed to make a final judgment. All the action is in the hands of the government, and if someone prevents us from investigating the case, of course, we can do it, but it is not our responsibility to punish the criminals. Speaking of this, Wei Yu sighed, "Once everything involves the government, the imperial court, or even the royal family, there are often problems with the punishment of criminals. If it's an ordinary civilian, it's fine, but if it's a sect, you have to think about whether the value paid when arresting people is not worth it. If it involves powerful people, we must see if the local government is capable of handling it, and if the case is sent to the top, no one will be the prisoner's umbrella, and the emperor has no intention of handling or shielding the umbrella!"
Gu Shen slowly raised his head and looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, "It's going to rain, let's go back to the inn!"
Wei Yu couldn't help but feel a little sad as he watched Gu Shen's back gradually move away. Turning around and looking at the boat, the girl had been sent in for a while, and what kind of misery she would suffer after that was completely conceivable. Gu Shen is the age of the hot-blooded Fang Gang, if the young man who has changed to a normal point sees what the other party is doing, he will definitely see the road and roar. However, Gu Shen walked away silently!
This is a kind of maturity, a kind of recognition of current affairs that bows to reality. Maybe there will be people who are complacent because of this, because they have gained benefits for giving those illusory things. It is undeniable that such people tend to live well. But sometimes you can never get back what you discard! When you are old and frail, looking back on the past, do you feel a clear conscience about yourself who are indifferent to your old age?
......
City Lord's Mansion, Shang Yi walked around in annoyance, looking at his master for a while and his daughter for a while.
"Dad, can you stop turning? If they don't want to go, they won't go, and they'll have a lot of your taxes anyway. Shang Rong shook her head helplessly.
"I'm annoying! These sect strongmen have been staying here for three days, and they don't even look like they're leaving. Recently, they have had a lot of fights in the mall, and the things they destroyed have long exceeded the limit of my patience!" Shang Yi slapped the table, and the squeak of the table legs made him feel distressed again.
Shang Rong covered her face and smiled bitterly, "After a long time, you're still worried about money! ”
Shang Yi paused and felt that it was not good to just think about money, so he replied: "Money is a trivial matter, but human life is a major matter! These guys are fighting each other at every turn, what if they accidentally injure someone? Can these fools still lose their lives!"
Shang Rong sighed helplessly, turned over and took out a butterfly from the palm of her hand, this butterfly was only the size of a palm and covered in black, and it was not fast at all when it flew.
"I asked Xiao Wu about this, and he said that this time the matter was led by the Jade Void Palace, and the reason for gathering many sects was to besiege and kill a fierce beast!
Shang Yi suddenly asked: "So that kid came back this time because he came with the sect to strangle the fierce beasts? Did he say when he would come back? If those guys who were occupying the dock could have a disciple of the Jade Void Palace in charge, they would be much more honest!"
Shang Rong shook her head, "This time it was not Xiao Wu who presided over the siege, but one of his senior brothers. Therefore, his actions must be under command, and I think he may not have time to come to see me until after the beast dies!"
Shang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and sat down on the stool with extreme displeasure, "Why is it so difficult to be a city lord quietly?"
Shang Rong rolled her eyes, "Don't worry, don't forget! The master of the Hanging Mirror Division is in the city, and those sect people will still have some scruples!"
Yuelai Inn, Wei Chao handed a letter to his brother, "According to intelligence, there is a fierce beast in the west, and this fierce beast has run all the way to the east, and now it is less than a thousand miles away from here!"
"Fierce beasts, can you know what fierce beasts are, and which sects are the participants?" Wei Yu took the letter, but he didn't find any extra information.
Wei Chao shook his head regretfully, "This time the leader is the Jade Void Palace, our Hanging Mirror Division has very few spies in the Jade Void Palace, and most of them are not of high status, it is not easy to be able to detect these, the only one who has some value is the leader this time, it is said to be the disciple of the palace master!"
Wei Yu paused, "Disciple of the palace master......?" Xue Yanran?"
Wei Yu seemed a little cautious at mentioning this name, and Wei Chao hurriedly shook his head and replied, "It's not Xue Yanran, it's a disciple that the Jade Void Palace Lord just accepted not long ago!"
Wei Yu was stunned, and said strangely: "This palace master's acceptance of apprentices is a major event today, why is there no rumor coming?"
Wei Chao said a little frustratedly: "So, we have too few spies in the Jade Void Palace, so that when something happens, we can't even know it at the first time!"
Wei Yu shook his head, "How can the six major forces in the world be so easy to get along with, their investigation of internal traitors can be described as extremely strict, and it is already great that we can place spies in them!
"It's very strange, this personal disciple was unknown before, although he was already a cultivator of the Mortal Realm when he was not yet an adult, but when it comes to talent, he can't be compared with Xue Yanran at all, and I don't know why the Jade Void Palace Lord accepted him as an apprentice?
